Chapter 83
"The emperor is wise and wise, I think the name "respective" is great kind!"
Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, bowed his head and said, "In addition to the posthumous title, I also want to ask the emperor for the funeral..."
The funerals in this era are much more grand and complicated than weddings. The more identifiable the person is, the more so it is. Moreover, because they are the princes of the Ming Dynasty, all etiquettes must be abide by the laws and must not be careless at all.
But although it is autumn now, the weather is still hot. People are in the coffin for a long time...
"The funeral is to be grand, but my third uncle must be buried early!" Zhu Yunxiu said, looking at the ministers, "Where is the Marquis of Yongping?"
The Marquis of Yongping Xie Cheng is the father-in-law of King Zhu Qi of Jin, and the legitimate concubine of King Jin is the eldest daughter of the Xie family.
"When you go back to the emperor, on the way to the palace, the old marquis heard the bad news about the King of Jin and fainted. He is now in the guard duty room!" The prince-in-law Mei Yin said.
"I'm looking at the imperial doctor, what medicine is needed? You can use the imperial medicine from the Da Nei Medicine Depot!" Zhu Yunxi sighed slightly.
The old man has tried his best to choose a wife for these sons.
When the King of Jin was a teenager, he was appointed as a vassal. He first studied military affairs in his hometown Fengyang, and then in the border. At the beginning, these old ministers were trained with war. When they reached the age of getting married, they were also selected from the women of these noble families.
The so-called son-in-law is half a son. King Jin is his father-in-law and the military marquis saw the eldest son-in-law since childhood. He brought him to the eldest son and was his own son-in-law. Now he is a white-haired man who gives away a black-haired man.
As he was talking, a cry that could not be suppressed suddenly came from outside.
There was also the voice of the turtle-evil shame, "Old Marquis, be careful of the steps!"
"Emperor!" At the door, the white-haired Marquis of Yongping knelt directly at the door and cried loudly, "Emperor, Emperor!"
"Hold up!" Zhu Yunxiu was also sad and quickly ordered someone to come over and support him.
The son-in-law Li Jian and the Duke of Wei Xu Hui came forward and helped him up from left and right.
"God! If you don't open your eyes, you will take me and let my son-in-law go! Use my old bones to replace the King of Jin!" Marquis of Yongping Xie Cheng cried and robbed the earth, beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"Old Marquis!" Li Jian said, "Don't lose your manners in front of His Majesty!"
"Show him the seat!" Zhu Yunxiu did not blame him and said lightly, "I know you have the King of Jin in your heart. Your father-in-law and son-in-law have a deep affection. I feel uncomfortable when I hear the bad news!"
"Emperor!" Xie Cheng said, wiping his tears, "Please go and see the King of Jin again!"
Zhu Yunxiu thought about it, "It's accurate!" As he said that, he turned to look at the prince-consored Duwei Mei Yin, "You go with the old marquis and bring the eldest son of the old marquis. You are the prince-consored Duwei. You have the full responsibility to deal with the funeral of the Prince of Jin's Mansion!"
"I obey the order!" Mei Yin said.
"You are from a military general, please go first with the old Marquis and others!" Zhu Yunxiu thought for a moment and continued to speak, "The people from the Ministry of Rites followed!" Speaking of this, he looked at the Hanlin Academy, "Master Fang!"
Fang Xiaoru bowed his head and said, "I am here!"
"You can write the inscription of King Jin!" Zhu Yunsheng said.
"I obey the order!"
When all the explanations were almost done, Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, spoke again, "Emperor, the title of King Jin..."
Zhu Yunxiu understood what he meant, and said without thinking, "I will be a legitimate in the Ming Dynasty. My third uncle's eldest son Jixiu has a dignified character, a rich character, diligent and humble!"
"When I was in the capital in the past, the Supreme Emperor and the Grand Prince were very beautiful among the grandsons. It is often said that Ji Huo was the good grandson, so he should succeed the title of King Jin as the crown prince!"
"I will obey the order!" After the words fell, the ministers bowed their heads.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Yi said, "Emperor, the prince will succeed the throne of Jin. I will ask the emperor to decide the titles of the rest of the King of Jin!"
According to the old man's family rules, his son's prince was naturally hereditary. His son's legitimate son inherited the prince and his concubine's son became the prince.
Now that King Jin has passed away with a few young sons, the court will definitely give him a title.
King Zhu Qi of Jin had a total of seven sons, which means that in addition to the eldest son who inherited the title of King Jin, the court would grant six princes.
The title is not a title of king, but their title of king has been decided long ago, and they want to give real fiefdoms. If these six princes were all divided, there would be nothing left in the essence of Shanxi.
This is true in history. Zhu Jixuan, the fourth son of King Zhu Qi of Jin, was named King Qingcheng. He gave birth to one hundred sons in his life, and his son had a son. Later, his fiefdom was Fenzhou, which was like a huge palace city.
All living in the Zhu family's bloodline, and all the ordinary people squeezed out of the city.
When Zhu Yunyu thought of this, he felt a little numb.
So when Zheng Yi said this, Zhu Yunxi looked at him with a little impatient look.
"I'm so ignorant, I don't know how to say it privately?" Zhu Yunhuang said in his heart.
Zheng Yi was a little creepy when the emperor saw him, but he didn't know where he was wrong.
"Emperor!" said the old minister Ling Han, "I think the new mourning of King Jin, and the matter of such fiefdom should be discussed later!"
"You are always thinking about the country!" Zhu Yunxiu spoke immediately, then looked at the ministers, "Go down, the prince-in-law Mei Yin stayed!"
The ministers then retreated, leaving only Zhu Yunsheng and Mei Yin in the hall.
Mei Yin is the son-in-law who the old man values very much. He is also from the Huaixi Honorary Group, with both civil and military affairs.
"You go to Shanxi to attend the funeral. There are a few things I want you to do!" Zhu Yunsheng said.
"Since, listen to the Hadith!"
Zhu Yunxiu sat and picked up the teacup, "First, I heard that someone encouraged the King of Jin to die when the King of Jin was alive, so you go and check it!"
Mei Yin's heart skipped a beat and said to himself, "Aren't this all tacit? Why is the emperor?" But he did not dare to neglect his words, "I obey the order!"
"There is another thing. Uncle San is gone. I want to treat his descendants well!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "But I heard that there are so many unscrupulous ones among Uncle San's sons!" As he said that, he saw that Mei Yin didn't say anything.
"After I arrive in Shanxi, I will definitely check the character and conduct of Prince Zisi and others in detail and repay the emperor!" Mei Yin immediately spoke.
"Well, I can still trust you!" Zhu Yunxi sighed, "Oh, I thought I would never do anything this year, but I didn't expect that my third uncle would die young!"
"After you go, the causes and consequences of the third uncle's illness must be recorded. What medicine should be used, and whether the offspring and other offspring are filial, they must be recorded one by one!"
"I obey the order!"
Mei Yin said, thinking again in her heart, "The emperor's second half of the words seem to have some meaning!"
"It's still early, you'll leave now." Zhu Yunxiu said again, "Don't delay the road!"
"yes!"
After Mei Yin left, Zhu Yunyu was the only one left in the hall.
He sat on the throne, holding a teacup in his hand but did not drink it in a gulp. Instead, he looked at the rain outside the window and was quietly intent.
"Uncle San, I promised you to treat your descendants well, not the kind you think."
"If I blindly protect your descendants, many people will suffer!"
